I think you could change your blog title.

I remember my worst christmas was during uni. In a flat alone, no tv, no internet and no money for more food or a train ticket home for a week. I had enough for a coach home but wasn't allowed to reserve a seat.

2 coachs came a day each at 6am and 12-1pm. Each was full by the time they came into town. The coach stataion was an hour walk away in the ice and snow lugging my old style suitcase of clothes. 2 days trying before christmas eve and they stopped completely for 2 days.

I had to use most of my money to pay the meter for gas and electricity. I ate value bread and butter with a single leaf of lettuce per sandwich with water. No money left after that other then for bread.

I sat in my room and used some electricity to watch Casablanca on my pc. Other then that I just tried to sleep and not get completely depressed.

As I didn't have any money now and gas & electricity going to run out I finally built up the courage to phone my brother to come drive me home(a 10 hour round trip costing about £100 in petrol). Even with his own money problems he found a way to get enough to pay for petrol there and back.

Since then I finally learnt the worth of a £ especially when I was counting pennies to pay for value bread.

I had to have christmas without my parents because my mom got appendicitis and my dad rushed her to a doctor. I was sick, but I still enjoyed it to a limited degree (extended family FTW). I think your christmas is worse though

Just keep your chin up man, I think one of the greatest things to learn in a situation like this is how you don't want to act when you have kids. You can always learn, even from some of the worst situations you get in. Sorry about the crummy christmas, but look on the bright side, at least you have a house and food to eat, not a huge upside, but it could always be worse.

i used to be a poker player

it's not that easy to just up and make a big bankroll out of thin air

and a big bankroll is what u need to have a big enough winrate to live off of

that or grind sngs for 60 hours a week which is something i definitely don't want to do

Man travis... you're so positive in all your post and I never thought you got parental issues like this one. Anyway I hope this doesn't affect you too much man. My parents were already separated when I was 4 so i never experience anything like this. So who you going to live with? mom or dad?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
